This 1957 record teams up a young Kenny Dorham with Sonny Rollins and Max Roach, both of whom were huge stars in the jazz world at the time. The album contains no originals, but all the selections are well chosen for the assembled group. Two of the tracks add Betty Glauman on harp, while the rest of the album showcases Dorham’s famously melodic tone while backed by a stellar all-star group.
